Welcome to Audra and John's old "Jack of All Trades" fan page! The series didn't last to long, but alas, we enjoyed it so much that we will keep this page online for any who discover it to explore. Lucky you!

Jack of All Trades premiered January 22, 2000 in the Back2Back Action block. The first episode, "Return of the Dragoon" was very kick-ass. Imagine if you will: Take Ash from the Evil Dead movies, give him Maxwell Smart's job, and set it all in post-Revolutionary times, and you have the idea.

Jack of All Trades is brought to us by long time director/producer partners, Sam Raimi and Robert Tapert (or as I call him, Mr. Xena: Warrior Princess--he's married to Lucy Lawless). If you have never heard of these guys, Shame on you! And click below to see their entries from the Internet Movie Database.

The premier episode,"Return of the Dragoon" was directed by Josh Becker, also responsible for Hercules, Xena, and Lunatics: A Love Story. To learn more about Josh Becker (and you really should), or if you just need an excellent recommendation for a movie rental, visit his web site:

The music is composed by Joseph LoDuca. Anyone who's seen the Hercules movies and series, Xena, the Evil Dead movies, and Lunatics: A Love Story will certainly recognize his work. But did you futher know he composed the music for The Amazing Live Seamonkeys cartoon?? Click below for a complete list of his credits.

The Theme Song Finally complete (and I think accurate). It was hard to understand a bunch of drunken pirate guys, but the dancing was divine.
THE CAST
Bruce Campbell (Jack Stiles). John wants you all to know that this is the section he poured everything into, because he thinks Bruce Campbell is the most kick-ass actor on the planet, and is on a quest to rent or purchase all of his movies. And I did the filmography off of the top of my head! You rock, Bruce! There's also an Evil Dead page in here by John, for those of you who lean more towards those movies than the Hercules/Xena end of things. Also visit Bruce's excellent website.

Angela Dotchin (Emilia Rothschild). Enter Emilia's secret laboratory. Don't worry. It's an illusion--smoke and mirrors, you see.
�
Stuart Devenie (Governor Croque).
Napoleon Bonaparte's taller brother wields the strong hand of French
Imperialism in Palau-Palau. Devenie, a New Zealand theater veteran,
also can list Hercules: The Legendary Journeys among
his
credits. You might remember him as Kurnunnos, the horned Celtic god
of fertility. Mui
Macho! Devenie has also
worked as a drama professor and as a consultant on Shortland
Street, the New Zealand soap opera that so many
Hercules/Xena actors have in common.
�
Stephen Papps (Captain Brogard) The captain of the French forces in Palau-Palau. A little more practice and he might actually be a match for the sword stylings of the Dragoon. Papps has appeared in bit parts in Hercules and Xena as well as (surprise) Shortland Street. He also has an extensive list of theater and film credits, including The Piano.
